he Telluride Town Council is planning a special meeting next week to deal with two ballot issues — one initiated by citizens, the other created by the town — that propose changes to the town-owned Pearl Property.
Special meeting to deal with Pearl Property measures likely next week The idea is to make sure the measures aren’t in conflict with one another before sending them to the ballot, so that if both pass
in November they can be implemented without problems. The measures propose different uses for the 7.3-acre parcel
of land that sits between Telluride and the Valley Floor, but drafters believe they can occur concurrently. The town’s measure, which is years in the making, proposes to divide the property into two parcels — a large undeveloped See BALLOT, Page 11

hiker who broke his ankle near Bear Creek Falls on Tuesday was transported to the Telluride Medical Center by San Miguel County Search and Rescue for treatment. The San Miguel County Sheriff’s Office received a call reporting an injured hiker around midafternoon on Tuesday. Shortly after the call came in, a search and rescue team was organized and headed to the Bear Creek Falls area.
The hiker, identified as 50-year-old Richard Cava, had broken his ankle after slipping near the water. “I was told they were enjoying the water, and when he got out he took a bad step and twisted his ankle,” said Chris White of the sheriff’s office, who coordinated the rescue. “I believe he basically broke his ankle pretty bad. It was deformed and rotated.” Cava was with a few friends, but with the severity of his leg injury, it was determined that he
would have to be carried out by a stretcher. “He was actually doing really well when the first crew arrived,” White said. “It was a pretty bad fracture, but he was not in very much pain, they were saying two on a scale of 10, and he was dealing with it very well. He just was not able to walk out.” When search and rescue arrived, crews splinted Cava’s leg and placed him on a stretcher. Crews also drove a vehicle up Bear Creek Road to the big rock See RESCUE, Page 11

uspected vandalism left two local businesses with smashed windows last week, and a man was arrested in connection with one of the incidents. The vandalism happened on Aug. 23 when windows at O’Bannon’s Irish Pub and Apotheca Integrative Pharmacy were broken. Benjamin Yoho, 39, is suspected of breaking the windows at O’Bannon’s, and he has been charged with criminal mischief. Telluride marshals arrested Yoho on Aug. 23 after a brief chase in which witnesses followed him a short way up Tomboy Road until officers arrived. Kelly Thomas, who is a bartender at O’Bannon’s, wasn’t at the bar the night of the incident, but she said the business had two windows broken. One was a small display window near the main door, while the other was a large display window behind the bar. The large window was double pane, and no glass fell See VANDALISM, Page 11

Telluride’s Best Media Room is Here!
our new Telluride address could be 225 West Gregory Avenue! But the prestige associated with this side of town doesn’t quite give this impeccable luxury home the distinction it deserves. You’ll have to see it to believe it. Knowing that they had to have a home in Telluride, the current owners scoured properties here throughout their 30 years of visiting - no property spoke to them like this home. You will feel the same way as upon entry it exudes tasteful, welcoming comfort. Attention to design details are evident from floor to ceiling and wall to wall, creating it was obviously a labor of love.

As avid hikers, hitting the trails daily was a must. One of the few changes they made after purchasing this home was changing the entry to stone which was more durable and fit their outdoor-infused lifestyle. When friends and family joined them, every night was movie night in the awesome media room. “We have seen many homes with media rooms, but this one was the best we have ever seen!” With ultra comfy seating and suede padded walls, it is truly extraordinary.
The home’s footprint is uniquely set across one over-sized lot which adds to the privacy factor. Unlike ‘townie” locations where homes are stacked almost on top of one another and foot traffic can easily gaze in from the street level, this home is set up and back from the street and neighbors.
Another favorite go-to spot is any and every seat in the living room. The ambient natural light and view, make it feel like you’re in a forest. Grab your favorite book, choose any seat and settle in for one of life’s greatest down-time pleasures … such a great escape!

A man is accused of trying to get marijuana into a Washington state jail by attaching it to an arrow he shot onto the roof. A Whatcom County sheriff’s employee saw the man step out of his pickup truck and use a bow to launch the arrow toward the jail’s second-floor recreation area, but it missed its target. Sheriff Bill Elfo says the man, identified as 36-year-old David Wayne Jordan, was arrested for investigation of introducing contraband into the jail, resisting arrest and obstructing law enforcement.

Workers picket McDonald’s in Northglenn
Some Colorado fast-food workers are participating in a national protest calling for higher wages. Workers were picketing a McDonald’s in Northglenn on Thursday. Organizers expect the protests to be the largest nationwide strike by fast-food workers. Nationally, workers say they want $15 an hour, which would be about $31,000 a year for full-time employees. That’s more than double the federal minimum wage, which many fast food workers make, of $7.25 an hour, or $15,000 a year.

AIL, Colo. (AP) — Bill Marolt simply thought it was time for a new leader with fresh ideas to take over the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. That’s why, after 18 years in charge, Marolt will step down as CEO and president of USSA following the Sochi Olympics. To take his place, the organization is bringing on board for-
mer Olympian Tiger Shaw, who will start on Oct. 1 as chief operating officer before switching over to leading USSA after the Winter Games. Marolt will still serve as vice president of the International Ski Federation and as a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee’s board of directors. He plans to help the organization with fundraising, too. “In one sense, it’s hard to
leave. But in another sense, it’s exhilarating and exciting,” Marolt said in a phone interview. “I think it’s going to be fun to be part of it and to watch Tiger come on board, take it and run with it.” Shaw brings a business acumen to the position after serving as a senior director for a response services company. He also was a two-time Olympian and nine-time U.S. champion.
Holmes’ attorneys had asked judge to bar all prosecution witnesses from proceedings By DAN ELLIOTT
D
Associated Press
ENVER (AP) — Victims of the Colorado theater shootings can attend defendant James Holmes’ trial and pretrial hearings, even if they will be called to testify as prosecution witnesses, a judge ruled Wednesday. Attorneys for Holmes had asked the judge to bar all prosecution witnesses from the proceedings. State court rules allow such exclusions to keep witnesses from hearing — and being influenced by — others’ testimony. But Arapahoe County District Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. said the rule, which has the backing of the state Supreme Court, is trumped by the victims’ rights section of the Colorado Constitution. A voter-approved provision allows victims of a crime to be present “at all critical stages” of court proceedings centering on the crime. Holmes is accused of opening fire on an unsuspecting crowd of more than 400 people watching a midnight showing of a Batman movie in July 2012, in a theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora. Twelve people died and 70 were injured. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to more than 160 counts of murder and attempted murder. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Samour’s ruling acknowledged that the question of whether to allow victim-witnesses to be present during the trial and pretrial hearings was tricky, especially with Holmes’ life at stake. “In this mass shooting case in which the prosecution seeks the death penalty, should the court exclude hundreds of victims from all the critical stages of the judicial proceedings?” he wrote. Referring to his own analysis and reasoning — which take up 27 pages — he wrote, “The court must answer ‘no.’” Samour criticized the defense arguments, saying they “fall woefully short” and lacked substance, and he noted that Holmes’ lawyers never claimed that allowing victim-witnesses in the courtroom would threaten his right to fair trial. The judge said that left him with the responsibility of considering whether Holmes’ rights would be violated, and he concluded they would not.

ALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Jennifer May’s 11-year-old son suffers debilitating seizures that have severely limited his development to that of a toddler and kept him from attending full days of school. She’s tried numerous medications, diets and treatments, but says none has worked against Stockton May’s rare form of epilepsy known as Dravet syndrome. Jennifer May is a staunch Republican who once thought giving medical marijuana to children was crazy. Now, she’s pushing for a state law that would allow the use of a liquid form of medical marijuana available in Colorado that she believes is helping children with the same syndrome. “We don’t think it’s a cure, we don’t expect it to be a miracle. It just needs to be something we can try for our kids that don’t have anything left,” said May, 40, of Pleasant Grove. “I want to see if this can even give my child a quality of life for a few years.” Her story was first made public in a blog post last week by the

The Salt Lake Tribune wrote about her Wednesday. The Epilepsy Association of Utah supports May’s push and notes the medical value of extracting cannabidiol from the cannabis plant for people with epilepsy. “It comes down to the medicines currently available,” said Annette Maughan, president of
the Epilepsy Association of Utah. “Either the side effects are horrendous and life-threatening or the efficacy of the drug is just not there.” However, the Institute of Medicine and the American Medical Association have said more research needs to be done, while the American Academy of Pediatrics doesn’t support medical marijuana prescriptions for children, the Tribune reported.

ASHINGTON (AP) — Striving to take action where Congress would not, the Obama administration announced new steps Thursday on gun control, curbing the import of military surplus weapons and proposing to close a littleknown loophole that lets felons and others circumvent background checks by registering guns to corporations. Four months after a gun control drive collapsed spectacularly in the Senate, President Barack Obama added two more executive actions to a list of 23 steps the White House determined Obama could take on his own to reduce gun violence. With the political world focused on Mideast tensions and looming fiscal battles, the move signaled Obama’s intent to show he hasn’t lost sight of the cause he took up after 20 first graders and six adults were gunned down last year in an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. One new policy will end a government practice that lets military weapons, sold or donated by the U.S. to allies, be reimported into the U.S. by private entities,
where some may end up on the streets. The White House said the U.S. has approved 250,000 of those guns to be reimported since 2005; under the new policy, only museums and a few other entities like the government will be eligible to reimport militarygrade firearms. The Obama administration is also proposing a federal rule to stop those who would be ineligible to pass a background check from skirting the law by registering a gun to a corporation or trust. The new rule would require people associated with those entities, like beneficiaries and trustees, to undergo the same type of fingerprint-based background checks as individuals if they want to register guns. Vice President Joe Biden, Obama’s point-man on gun control after the Newtown tragedy thrust guns into the national spotlight, was set to unveil the new actions Thursday at the White House. The event in the Roosevelt Room will also mark the ceremonial swearing-in for Todd Jones, whose confirmation to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives after six years of political wrangling

to fill that position was another of Obama’s post-Newtown priorities. A Senate deal to approve the president’s pending nominations after Democrats threatened to change Senate rules cleared the way for Jones’ confirmation last month. Still out of reach for Obama were the steps that gun control advocates and the administration’s own review say could most effectively combat gun violence in the U.S., like an assault weapons ban and fewer exceptions for background checks for individual sales. Only Congress can act on those fronts. Although Obama and Biden have said the fight is not over, there is scant evidence that there is more support for gun control legislation than there was in April, when efforts died in the Senate amid staunch opposition from the National Rifle Association and most Republican senators. “Sooner or later, we are going to get this right,” Obama said that day in the White House Rose Garden, with the families of Newtown victims and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords — herself a victim of a gunman — at his side.

ASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is vowing that American retaliation for Syrian chemical weapons use would send a “strong signal,” as U.S. intelligence officials readied briefings for Congress on evidence aimed at linking last week’s attack to President Bashar Assad’s government. But even as the U.S. moves closer to possible military action, new hurdles appear to be slowing the formation of an international coalition to undertake military action. And questions remain about the strength of the case against Assad. Russia blocked British efforts to seek a force resolution at the United Nations. British Prime Minister David Cameron said his country would hold off on joining any military efforts until a U.N. chemical weapons inspection team releases its findings. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon said the team is expected to complete its inspection Friday and report to him Saturday; they will share their conclusions with members of the Security Council,
Ban said, but he didn’t specify when that might happen. “If any action would be taken against Syria it would be an international collaboration,” Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel reiterated Thursday. Still, the Obama administration vowed to take action even without the backing of allies or the U.N. The president said that while he had not settled on a response to last week’s purported chemical weapons attack near Damascus, the U.S. has concluded that Assad’s regime perpetrated the attack, which killed at least 100 Syrians. “And if that’s so,” Obama said during an interview with “NewsHour” on PBS, “then there need to be international consequences.” Obama did not present specific evidence to back up his assertion that the Assad regime is responsible for the Aug. 21 attack. U.S. officials were also in search of additional intelligence to bolster the White House’s case for a strike against Assad’s military infrastructure. American intelligence intercepted lower-level Syrian military commanders’ communications discussing the
chemical attack, but the communications don’t specifically link the attack to an official senior enough to tie the killings to Assad himself, according to three U.S. intelligence officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the intelligence publicly. The administration was planning an intelligence teleconference briefing Thursday on Syria for leaders of the House and Senate and the national security committees in Congress, U.S. officials and congressional aides said. Officials also said an unclassified version of the report by the Office of the Director for National Intelligence would be made public this week. The White House ideally wants intelligence that links the attack directly to Assad or someone in his inner circle, to rule out the possibility that a rogue element of the military decided to use chemical weapons without Assad’s authorization. That quest for added intelligence has delayed the release of the report laying out evidence against Assad. The report was promised earlier this week by administration officials.

ORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — If Nidal Hasan plans to welcome a death sentence as a pathway to martyrdom, the rules of military justice won’t let him go down without a fight — whether he likes it or not. The Army psychiatrist was sentenced Wednesday to die for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage that killed 13 people and wounded more than 30. But before an execution date is set, Hasan faces years, if not decades, of appeals. And this time, he won’t be allowed to represent himself. “If he really wants the death penalty, the appeals process won’t let it happen for a very long time,” said Joseph Gutheinz, a Texas attorney licensed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. “The military is going to want to do everything at its own pace. They’re not going to want to let the system kill him, even if that’s what he wants.” Hasan opened fire at a Fort Hood medical center packed with soldiers heading to or recently returned from overseas

combat deployments. He also was set to soon go to Afghanistan to counsel soldiers there, and said he carried out the attack to protect Muslim insurgents on foreign soil. During trial, Hasan acknowledged that evidence showed he was the gunman, and put up virtually no defense of his actions. He’s suggested in writings that he would “still be a martyr” if he received death. At trial, Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, a standby military attorney assigned to Hasan, told the judge that Hasan’s “goal is to
remove impediments or obstacles to the death penalty.” Now that Hasan’s been sentenced to death, a written record of the trial will be produced and Fort Hood’s commanding general will have the option of granting clemency. Assuming none is granted, the case record is then scrutinized by the appeals courts for the Army and armed forces. If Hasan’s case and death sentence are eventually affirmed, he could ask the U.S. Supreme Court for a review or file motions in federal civilian courts.

Town holds off on Pearl ballot measure vote BALLOT, from page 1
open space parcel preserved by a conservation easement and a small paved parcel where an RV lot is now located that could be used for a public benefit such as a new medical center. The other measure, a citizens initiated ballot question brought forth by local organization Telluride Grown this summer, would ask voters to allow agricultural use on 1.5 upland acres of the north side of the property. Telluride Grown is proposing to build a food-growing system comprised of several greenhouses and would use a technology known as aquaponics to grow produce and raise fish for consumption. The Pearl Property, which is currently zoned as public purpose, has a fraught past; the parcel has been at the center of several squabbles over development rights and wetlands over the years. In 1998, voters approved a restriction on the Pearl to prevent a proposed parking lot, and the development restriction remains today. The council was originally scheduled to consider both measures at its regular meeting Tuesday, but Telluride Grown’s measure hit a snag late last week when some of its language was deemed inappropriate, and council decided to delay consideration of both. Telluride Grown’s original ballot question asked voters to allow agricultural use and to approve a requirement for the town to authorize a 33-year lease with the group at a nominal cost. Volunteers for the group’s
petition committee gathered 82 signatures of town voters, which were turned in late last week. Telluride Grown needed 37 certified Telluride voter signatures for the measure to go to the ballot; Town Clerk MJ Schillaci certified 55. But while town staff was reviewing the signatures and measure, they found the language concerning the lease arrangement to be problematic. According to the town, Colorado law and the Telluride Home Rule Charter require that matters included in any initiated ordinance be deemed legislative, not administrative, in nature. And by the town’s interpretation, the requirement that the town authorize a long-term lease of its property would qualify as administrative. Therefore, according to the town, that version could not go on the ballot. Telluride Grown’s petitioners committee has been in the process of revising the language and gathering signatures anew since Monday afternoon. They plan to turn in a new round of signatures on Friday, said group co-founder Steve Ciecuich. Because of the delay, the council decided to hold off on its own Pearl Property measure as well. It makes sense to review both of them at the same time, Mayor Stu Fraser said. “We wanted to make sure that there was no conflict,” Fraser said. Town Attorney Kevin Geiger said that while the special meeting had not been called yet, the schedule has been cleared for
Wednesday at 8 a.m. Reviewing both measures at the same time will offer the parties the opportunity to check the language and make sure they cross-reference one another appropriately, he said. The deadline to get them on the ballot is Sept. 6. Telluride Grown unveiled the its plan at the 2013 Mountainfilm Festival, touting it as a way for the town to cut down on carbon emissions related to importing food, produce healthy products for its citizens and serve as an example to other communities. The group brought the proposal to the Telluride Town Council in June with a request to put it on the ballot, but the request was voted down after some council members said the Pearl Property is not the right place for the project. In addition, some council members were not keen on the idea of adding yet another Pearl ballot question into the mix — even when Telluride Grown suggested including language that would ensure the two measures don’t conflict. After the council voted against putting the measure on the ballot, Telluride Grown started the process of preparing a citizensinitiated measure instead. The 1.5-acre parcel of the Pearl is the best fit for the project because it is flat, gets great sun exposure and would be a visible example to residents and visitors that the town is working toward a greener future, according to Telluride Grown.

where the road turns into a trail, and head up to the falls. The vehicle delivered equipment to the scene and transported Cava down to town. While it is a short hike from the falls down to the where the vehicle was parked, White said it took about six people to hike Cava down to the vehicle. From there, he was transported to the Telluride Medical Center for
treatment. White said the rescue went smoothly. He was thankful that it was easy to get so many people organized and on the scene with little notice. “It’s nice the employers around here understand these kind of situations, and allow us to go do search and rescue,” White said. Bear Creek Trail is a popular hike from town that leads to the
falls, which are roughly 2 miles south of Telluride. The trail is mostly wide open, but near the falls, rocks can be wet and slippery and the terrain varies in steepness. This summer search and rescue has responded to numerous calls, including two incidents of hikers injured in the Wilson Group Southwest of Telluride.

swinging his hatchet around near the Steaming Bean. From there Yoho was followed up Tomboy Road by bar patrons who were on the phone with the marshal’s department. Officers arrested him once they arrived on scene, around 10 p.m. The window broken at Apotheca, meanwhile, was facing Colorado Avenue. Witnesses have given different accounts about
how it was broken, but nothing has been confirmed. As of Thursday Yoho is incarcerated at the San Miguel County Detention Center in Iium. No damage cost estimates are available for either business’ windows. The windows at O’Bannon’s had not been replaced as of Thursday, but the one at Apotheca had been.

Letters
Yet another flight cancellation! DEAR EDITOR, Last week, the Planet ran an article detailing changes at the Telluride Regional Airport (TEX). The article was interspersed with quotes from Telluride mayor and Telluride Regional Airport Authority (TRAA) board member Stu Fraser. Mr. Fraser told of projects completed at a cost of, “Over $50 million … in the last few years.” The thrust of the article was for the public to get the word out; quoting Mr. Fraser, “What we’re really trying to do is to make the airport more known for what it is.” It is in that spirit that I am writing this letter to the editor. To this end, I am going to rely on statistics from both the TRAA Board monthly meeting packet, as well as from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics/Research and Innovative Technology Administration (BTS/RITA). As to the TRAA spending over $50 million during the past few years, let’s examine what the taxpayer’s received for their money — oh yes, Mr. Fraser neglected to mention the fact that most of the $50 million, as well as the additional $60+ million spent over the past 10 years, was almost completely funded by the American public. Despite this prodigious spending, the number of enplanements, (the number of passengers boarding a commercial flight), has been on a steady downward spiral since 1994. In 1994 the number of enplanements was 27,793 compared to only 7,445 in 2012. The number needed to receive annual FAA funding is 10,000 — TEX’s enplanements are now too low to meet even this federal minimum. To exacerbate this situation, through July of this year, enplanements are down an additional 20 percent. The fact that the FAA continues to fund an airport with such an abysmal record of performance is shameful. Worse yet, the TRAA has the
audacity to be requesting fresh federal funding. The reduction in enplanements belies the fact that mountainous amounts of money have been spent, and land use code variances were granted on expanding runways, improving facilities and authorizing night flights — all given, and all granted on promises assuring more travelers would be using TEX. Even including general aviation (private planes), the total enplanements are less than 50 percent of what they were in 1994. If the TRAA ran TEX as a rational business, or if they weren’t spending someone else’s money, these projects would have long ago been aborted. The poor performance doesn’t end there, according to the latest BTS/RITA statistics, Telluride has by far the worst performance in the category of “cancellations and diversions” of any airport in Colorado. Unfortunately, the data for comparison purposes is only through April 2011. The reason for that — TEX is one of only two Colorado airports that stopped reporting performance information to BTS/RITA — Pueblo Memorial Airport being the other. Save these two airports, all Colorado airports are still reporting as of June 2013. As such, I compared all Colorado airports from January 2008-April 2011. For that period, Telluride had cancelled or diverted 14.3 percent of their scheduled flights (a one out of seven chance of not landing in TEX — as this is a year-round average, one can reasonably assume the odds of getting into or out of TEX during the winter are even further reduced). In comparison, Montrose (MTJ) has one of the best records for cancellations and diversions, rivaling Denver International itself, at 1.89 percent, less than a one in 50 chance of not landing in MTJ! Other airports: Denver, 1.47 percent; Eagle/Vail, 4.88 percent;
Gunnison/Crested Butte, 4.61 percent; Aspen, 8.67 percent; Durango, 2.37 percent; Hayden, 3.41 percent; Colorado Springs, 1.66 percent; Grand Junction, 1.66 percent — and for comparison purposes, Jackson Hole, Wyo., 2.74 percent. Additionally, as too many of us know, none of these statistics takes into account passengers getting bumped off of a flight due to weight restrictions related to flying into the highest commercial airport in North America. As one can see, flying into or out of TEX is much more problematic than at any other airport in Colorado. It is my contention that it is TEX’s appalling record of cancellations and diversions that gives Telluride its “remote, difficult to get to” reputation. In attending a meeting of the air organization, when I pointed out that one in seven flights are either cancelled or diverted, Dirk DePagter, the chairperson of the group, responded, and I paraphrase, well six out of seven flights do get in. Apparently, the members of this group either don’t understand, appreciate or get, the hardships that are created for a family on vacation when their flights are cancelled, diverted or disrupted due to missed connections caused by delays. The irony here is that by flying into MTJ, you are almost assured of getting to your vacation spot as scheduled. Isn’t it worth the drive to know that your vacation won’t be spoiled? More troubling, knowledgeable sources have told me that if Crested Butte and Telluride can’t join together to support a joint venture into Montrose, airlines might choose to service both ski areas through Grand Junction. The one thing that Mr. Fraser and I can agree on — do spread the word about TEX. Respectfully,

decision could alleviate oversupply in north america
August 30, 2013 PAge sIXteeN
By DAVE KOLPACK

Associated Press
ARGO, N.D. (AP) — Questions about low sugar prices, dry growing conditions, discolored product and a bloated North American market due in large part to Mexican exports had American Crystal Sugar Co. officials reeling in recent weeks. But CEO David Berg told employees this week on the company blog about plans by Mexico’s soft drink industry to buy more of its own cane sugar so less of it will be sold elsewhere, an issue that has frustrated U.S. executives, particularly in the last year. While it’s difficult to tell what the announcement will mean for sugar prices, Berg wrote “it has to be considered good news” in an ongoing attempt by U.S. sugar producers to keep Mexico from flooding the market. Berg was not available Wednesday to comment on the new report, but said in a Tuesday interview with The Associated Press that Mexico’s uncontrolled exports have been a “frightening experience” in the last year. Mexico increased sugar shipments to the U.S. from 6 to 8 million metric tons in the last
growing season after harvesting a large batch planted a few years ago when “people felt good about eating sugar,” Berg said. “All things considered there was room for Mexican sugar, until this year, when their production just popped,” Berg said. “We were in balance before. We’re not in balance now. We’re plainly in surplus.” The U.S. sugar program has several rules that allow the national industry to manage the supply and support prices. But the North American Free Trade Agreement doesn’t allow exports from Mexico to be controlled, Berg said, “so we just sit here and watch it come in.” In an email to several U.S. sugar officials, Humberto Jasso Torres of the Mexican Soft Drinks Association said Tuesday its decision to buy an extra 400,000 metric tons of sugar will alleviate the current oversupply in North America. “The Mexican government was not involved in this announcement, and is expected to continue the policy of respecting the free will of soft drink producers to choose whichever sweetener they deem more convenient,” he said.

Associated Press
EW YORK (AP) — Fastfood protests are underway in cities including New York, Chicago and Detroit, with organizers expecting the biggest national walkouts yet in a demand for higher wages. Similar protests organized by unions and community groups in cities over the past several months have brought considerable media attention to a staple of the fast-food industry — the so-called “McJobs” that are known for their low pay and limited prospects. But it’s not clear what impact, if any, they will have on business. In New York, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn joined about 300 to 400 protesters in a march before flooding inside a McDonald’s near the Empire State Building on Thursday morning. Shortly after the demonstration, however, the restaurant seemed to be operating normally and a few customers said they hadn’t heard of the movement. The same was true at a McDonald’s a few blocks away. The lack of awareness among some illustrates the challenge
workers face. Participating workers, who are asking for $15 an hour, still represent a tiny fraction of the industry. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, which works out to about $15,000 a year for full-time employees. The movement comes amid calls from the White House, some members of Congress and economists to hike the federal minimum wage. But most proposals seek a far more modest increase than the one workers are asking for, with President Barack Obama wanting to boost it to $9 an hour. In a wide-ranging interview with the Associate Press, Labor Secretary Thomas Perez said the strikes are another sign of the need to raise the minimum wage for all workers. He compared the protests to the demands of demonstrators in the 1963 March on Washington, who sought a national minimum wage to give workers better living standards. “For all too many people working minimum wage jobs, the rungs on the ladder of opportunity are feeling further and further apart,” said Perez, who’s taking a lead role in Obama’s push to boost the minimum wage. The Service Employees In-
ternational Union, which represents more than 2 million works in health care, janitorial and other industries, has been providing financial support and training for local organizers around the country. Organizers said the strikes would hit more than 50 cities on Thursday, following a series of strikes that began last November in New York City. The biggest effort so far was over the summer when about 2,200 of the country’s millions of fast-food workers staged a one-day strike in seven cities. Ryan Carter, a 29-year-old who was walking out of the McDonald’s where workers demonstrated on Thursday, said he “absolutely” supported workers demand for higher wages. “They work harder than the billionaires in this city,” he said. But Carter, who was holding a cup of the chain’s coffee he bought for $1, said he didn’t plan to stop his regular trips to McDonald’s. McDonald’s Corp. and Burger King Worldwide Inc. say they don’t make decisions about pay for the independent franchisees that operate the majority of their U.S. restaurants.

Associated Press
ORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Six southern West Virginia residents are suing Alpha Natural Resources to stop further damage to a family cemetery they say has become “an island in the sky,” barely accessible and literally surrounded by a massive mountaintop-removal mining operation. They sued Virginia-based Alpha and its Independence Coal Co. subsidiary in Boone County Circuit Court last week after discovering that activity at the Twilight Surface Mine has come within 30 feet of their ancestors’ graves in Jarrell Cemetery. But Alpha spokesman Ted Pile said late Wednesday the lawsuit has no merit, and allegations that Alpha has “willfully and maliciously” violated a 100-foot buffer zone, toppled headstones and denied relatives access are false. Alpha has instead “gone above and beyond the letter and spirit of the permit and the law” to protect both the cemetery and the relatives’ access to it, he said. Alpha also is offended by suggestions it would deliberately harm the cemetery, Pile said. “Our miners are men and women of character who themselves have lost loved ones in the past and understand what these grave sites stand for and mean,” he said. The cemetery sits on a tiny knob of tree-topped land in the middle of what the Jarrell family descendants say is one of the biggest strip mines east of the Mississippi. They say recent mining activity violates state law and an agreement with Alpha and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection to keep mining at least 100 feet away

and preserve access to the burial plots. During a visit this summer, the plaintiffs say they found serious damage and an access road “so unreasonably graded, steep and dangerous” that only heavyduty, four-wheel-drive vehicles could use it. Longtime mountaintop mining activist Maria Gunnoe, one of the plaintiffs, said blasting has shaken headstones loose. Some have tilted and sunk, while others are cracked or were broken by falling trees. “This is no way to treat people,” she said. “These companies can do better than this.” Debbie Jarrell accused the DEP of “lax enforcement” and a lack of compassion. She said it has never written any violations for the desecration at her family’s cemetery, which now has a dangerous highwall on all sides. Alpha is even mining underneath the graves, Jarrell said, “literally leaving the cemetery an island in the sky and not accessible by any normal means of
transportation.” The DEP did not immediately comment. The lawsuit accuses Alpha of grave desecration, violations of the state Surface Coal Mine Reclamation Act, negligence and infliction of emotional distress. It seeks unspecified compensatory damages for cemetery repairs and punitive damages to deter future bad conduct, as well as a court order that prohibits Alpha from denying reasonable access. The family has tried for years to preserve access to the cemetery, but the expansion of the Twilight Surface Mine crept closer, eventually swallowing what was once the community of Lindytown. Nada Cook-White says the operation forced people away from their homes, and the Jarrell Family Cemetery is the last evidence that Lindytown ever existed. “This is a place of vital importance to our cultural heritage,” she said.

Americans driving less as car culture wanes Miles driven collectively peaked in 2007 By JOAN LOWY

Associated Press
ASHINGTON (AP) — Driving in America has stalled, leading researchers to ask: Is the national love affair with the automobile over? After rising for decades, total vehicle use in the U.S. — the collective miles people drive — peaked in August 2007. It then dropped sharply during the Great Recession and has largely plateaued since, even though the economy is recovering and the population growing. Just this week, the Federal Highway Administration reported vehicle miles traveled during the first half of 2013 were down slightly, continuing the trend. Even more telling, the average number of miles drivers individually rack up peaked in July 2004 at just over 900 per month, said a study by Transportation Department economists Don Pickrell and David Pace. By July of last year, that had fallen to 820 miles per month, down about 9 percent. Per capita automobile use is now back at the same levels as in the late 1990s. Until the mid-1990s, driving levels largely tracked economic growth, according to Pickrell

and Pace, who said their conclusions are their own and not the government’s. Since then, the economy has grown more rapidly than auto use. Gross domestic product declined for a while during the recession but reversed course in 2009. Auto use has yet to recover. Meanwhile, the share of people in their teens, 20s and 30s with driver’s licenses has been dropping significantly, suggesting that getting a driver’s license is no longer the teenage rite of passage it once was. Researchers are divided on the reasons behind the trends. One camp says the changes are almost entirely linked to the economy. In a few years, as the economy continues to recover, driving will probably bounce back, they reason. At the same time, they acknowledge there could be long-term structural changes in the economy that would prevent a return to the levels of driving growth seen in the past; it’s just too soon to know. The other camp acknowledges that economic factors are important but says the decline in driving also reflects fundamental changes in the way Americans view the automobile. For com-
muters stuck in traffic, getting into a car no longer correlates with fun. It’s also becoming more of a headache to own a car in central cities and downright difficult to park. “The idea that the car means freedom, I think, is over,” said travel behavior analyst Nancy McGuckin. Gone are the days of the car culture as immortalized in songs like “Hot Rod Lincoln,” “Little Deuce Coupe” and “Pink Cadillac.” “The car as a fetish of masculinity is probably over for certain age groups,” McGuckin said. “I don’t think young men care as much about the car they drive as they use to.” That’s partly because cars have morphed into computers on wheels that few people dare tinker with, she said. “You can’t open the hood and get to know it the way you used to,” she said. Lifestyles are also changing. People are doing more of their shopping online. More people are taking public transit than ever before. And biking and walking to work and for recreation are on the rise.

AP Technology Writer
EW YORK (AP) — Over the years, as I’ve added laptops, smartphones and tablet computers to the collection of desktop machines I use at home and work, it has become a chore to keep track of which files are where. Once I bring in friends and colleagues to collaborate on some of these documents, the task becomes downright painful. Because my devices are all connected to the Internet in one way or another, I’m able to take advantage of syncing features that come with the leading word processing and spreadsheet packages. Microsoft’s Office is the industry leader and a good option when you’re working with others. The main drawback is the price — $100 a year for up to five computers and five phones. Google and Apple have free or cheaper alternatives that may fit your needs better, but both have limitations. Which one will work best for you? That depends on your sharing and syncing needs. The Office package, which includes Word for word processing, Excel for spreadsheets and PowerPoint for presentations, is an excellent option when you have to collaborate with a lot of people. Like it or not, Office is what just about everyone else uses, and using it yourself will save you from headaches when exchanging files with others. Word and Excel are both packed with features, more than most people will ever need. If you’re working on only one computer, you probably don’t need the $100-a-year subscription. For a one-time payment of $140, you can purchase and install Word, Excel and PowerPoint on a single Windows or Mac computer. Keep in mind, the Mac package was released in late 2010 and will likely get an update next year. A subscription gets you the update for no extra charge. Office isn’t a viable option if your computer is a tablet. The Office software can be installed only on Windows tablets — not the more prevalent iPads or An-
droid tablets. You can work with Word and Excel files on those devices using software made by other companies or Web-based apps made by Microsoft. But you’ll be sacrificing the power of having Microsoft’s software installed right on your device, and you’ll need a continuous online connection with Microsoft’s Web Apps. In recent months, Microsoft has released versions of Office for the iPhone and Android phones, but functionality is limited. The apps are designed for viewing and light editing, not for complex spreadsheets. The apps come with the $100 annual subscription. There’s no option to buy them outright with a onetime payment. If you have a Mac, consider Apple’s iWork package, which comprises of Pages for word processing, Numbers for spreadsheets and Keynote for presentations. Each app is $20, so you pay $60 for the package. Comparable apps are available for iPads and iPhones — for $10 each, or $30 for the set. The Apple package is cheaper than Microsoft’s. It’s not as rich on features as Office, but it has all the things most people need. It’s also better at automatically saving interim revisions, in case you need to go back to an earlier draft. The problem comes with sharing files. It’s likely that the recipient of your file won’t have Pages or Numbers to read it. Apple currently doesn’t make the software for Windows or Android devices. You can export files to Microsoft and other formats, but that’s an extra step to take, and you risk losing some of the formatting. Pages and Numbers are good primarily for Apple users who create documents only for themselves. That said, Apple is releasing an online version of iWork this fall, opening it to Windows and Android users as long as they have continuous online connections. Apple hasn’t announced details on pricing. Google Docs is a package that works on any computer with a Web browser.

ECONOMY
U.S. economy grew at 2.5 percent rate in spring Improvement in trade deficit helped offset weaker government spending By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
W
AP Economics Writer
ASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from April through June, much faster than previously estimated. The steep revision was largely because U.S. companies exported more goods and imports declined. The Commerce Department said second-quarter growth was sharply higher than the initial 1.7 percent rate it reported last month. And the growth this spring was more than double the 1.1 percent rate from January through March. The improvement in the trade deficit helped offset a weaker government spending. Economists expect growth will stay at an annual rate of around 2.5 percent in the second half of the year, helped by steady job gains and less drag from federal spending cuts. Still, some say higher interest rates might restrain the economy’s expansion in the second half. Rates could rise even further if the Federal Reserve decides to reduce its $85 billion a month in bond purchases at its September meeting. The Fed will consider
the stronger second-quarter growth when making a decision next month. The bond purchases have helped keep long-term borrowing rates low. Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said stronger growth in the second quarter “should give Fed officials more confidence that the recovery is gathering steam as the fiscal drag begins to fade.” He said the Fed is now more likely to slow the bond purchases in September, although that decision depends heavily on the August employment report. The government will release the employment report next week. Ashworth forecast that growth in the current July-September quarter was likely to come in around 2.5 percent as well with the potential for even stronger growth in the October-December quarter. But he said the forecast assumes the Obama administration and Congress reach a deal to fund the government before it hits its $16.7 trillion borrowing limit cap in mid-October. The government’s estimates of economic expansion measure changes in the gross domestic product, the broadest gauge of the economy. GDP measures the
output of all goods and services produced in the United States. The revision was made after the trade deficit narrowed sharply in June — information that wasn’t available to government analysts produced their first estimate for second-quarter growth. The additional information left trade neutral in the second quarter, instead of subtracting 0.8 percentage points from growth. Government spending shrank an annual rate of 0.9 percent in the second quarter, much worse than the 0.4 percent drop initially estimated. Spending by the federal government shrank at a 1.6 percent annual rate. State and local governments cut at a 0.5 percent rate. Two key areas of the economy — housing and business investment — remained strong in the revision to second-quarter growth. Housing construction grew at an annual rate of 12.9 percent, the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. Business investment on structures was revised up to at 16.1 percent rate, although spending on equipment was revised a bit lower.

AP Auto Writer
PSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — Toyota has two important vehicles coming in 2015: the next-generation Prius hybrid and the company’s first hydrogen fuel cell car. Satoshi Ogiso, a top Toyota engineer who helped develop the original Prius 20 years ago, said Wednesday that the new Prius will get significantly better fuel economy than its current 50 miles per gallon. It will have an advanced battery, motor and gas engine combination that is smaller, lighter and cheaper than the current version. Ogiso wouldn’t reveal the fuel economy, but he’s hoping to at least match the 10-percent gains Toyota has gotten in the last three generations of Priuses. A 10 percent gain would get the Prius to 55 mpg in combined city and highway driving. “The challenge to continue to improve at this rate, to beat your own record, becomes very difficult but makes it all the more motivating,” Ogiso told media at an event near Detroit. “I can tell you that we are very motivated to beat our record.” The new Prius will ride on a new, lower chassis to improve its handling and aerodynamics. It will also have a nicer interior. Ogiso wouldn’t say how much it might cost, but a less expensive hybrid system could help bring
down the Prius’s $24,000 price tag. Toyota hopes the revamped Prius will help it reach its goal of selling 5 million hybrids in the U.S. by 2016. As of July, the company had sold more than 2 million Toyota and Lexus hybrids, including 1.4 million Prius compact cars, Prius C subcompacts and Prius V wagons. Bob Carter, Toyota’s senior vice president of automotive operations in the U.S., said its hybrids have come a long way since the Prius debuted in the U.S. in 2000. Just over 5,500 Prius hybrids were sold that year; last year, the company sold 236,000 Prius family vehicles. “Arguably, Prius is more than a car. It’s become a pop culture icon,” Carter said. Carter added that even as the company introduces other technologies, including hydrogen fuel cell and electric cars, hybrids will remain at the core of the company’s offerings for at least another 50 years. “You can take any fuel efficient technology and extend the range and make it even more efficient with a hybrid,” he said. Ogiso said more details about the hydrogen fuel cell car will come early next year. So far, there is only one other commercially available hydrogen fuel cell car in the U.S.: Honda’s FCX Clarity, which is leased in limited numbers in Southern California.

ReaL estate
some TrUmP U. sTUdenTs saY TheY FelT cheaTed By VERENA DOBNIK
n
Associated Press
EW YORK (AP) — Bob Guillo spent almost $35,000 hoping to learn some of Donald Trump’s real estate secrets. Instead, he says, he left the sessions of Trump University cash-poor, with little more than a photo of himself next to a lifesize cardboard cutout of the mogul, who never even showed up. “They told everybody to get their credit card limits raised to buy real estate, but the true purpose was to pay $35,000 for the next bunch of seminars,” said Guillo, of Manhasset, on Long Island. Nora Hanna dished out about $17,000 for the Trump University program, concluding after just a few days that “what I learned there, I could read on the Internet.” The Brooklyn woman fought for two months to get her money back as promised to those who changed their mind within three days. “They wouldn’t answer my calls or emails,” she said. Eventually, she said, her money was returned. Trump’s former students are coming forward to tell their stories in the wake of a $40 million lawsuit against “The Apprentice” star and his real estate school by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who says Trump helped run a phony university that promised to make students rich but instead steered them into expensive and largely useless seminars. The billionaire developer says that Schneiderman’s lawsuit is false and that his school had done a “fantastic job,” with a 98 percent approval rating among students from around the country. He called the attorney general “a political hack looking to get publicity.” Guillo said that in the group seminars he attended in New York hotel conference rooms in 2009 and early 2010, an instructor “was flashing his Rolex watch and wearing a very expensive suit and fancy cufflinks as he told us his rags-to-riches story.” “We followed PowerPoint presentations, and they gave us loose-leaf manuals and websites you could pull up on your home computer. We were all scammed,” Guillo said. Not everyone feels that way. Marla Rains-Colic called her experience “extremely positive.” “It was an education that opened the door for us in real estate,” said Rains-Colic, who with her husband paid $25,000 for a private, three-day “mentorship” program” in St. Louis with a real estate expert from Wisconsin chosen by Trump’s organization. Michael Greco is another grateful student who calls the lawsuit baseless. After a free introductory presentation, the New Jersey resident spent $500 for an online tutorial offered by Trump.

Venus WiLLiaMs Loses in 2nd Round at u.s. oPen
Venus Williams had a backhand volley into the open court for match point. She stumbled as she stepped into the shot, and the ball bashed into the net. The 33-year-old American stood up slowly and grimaced. After more than three hours, she didn’t have one more point left. Williams lost 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5) to 56th-ranked Zheng Jie of China on a wet Wednesday at Flushing Meadows. It is the third year in a row that the two-time champion is out of the U.S. Open after two rounds. Williams has been slowed the past couple of years by an autoimmune disease that saps energy. Much of this season, she has been hampered by a bad back. And so the questions come about how much longer she’ll step onto the court.

ENVER (AP) — Joe Flacco looms larger than life in Denver, and not just because he engineered the stunning upset of the Broncos in the playoffs that propelled the Baltimore Ravens to the Super Bowl title. The league’s marketing campaign for next week’s kickoff game features several large banners of Flacco fluttering from lamp posts on downtown streets — and a giant one several stories high that hangs at Sports Authority Field alongside a banner of Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. That has drawn an angry public reaction from Broncos fans who have taken to Twitter and to the streets to vent their frustration. One local sportscaster used a Sharpie to draw a mustache on a Flacco poster hanging along Denver’s 16th Street Mall, and covered another with tape. Some fans have organized an online petition asking the league, which purchased the advertising space from the Downtown Den-
ver Partnership, to remove the Flacco banners. The Ravens visit Denver on Thursday for the NFL’s regularseason opener. They’re the first champion to open on the road since the Super Bowl team began hosting the league’s Thursday night kickoff celebration 10 years ago. In a radio interview this week, Manning questioned the placement of the Flacco banner on the stadium, telling KOA 850 AM, the Broncos’ radio affiliate in Denver, “It doesn’t seem to make much sense that the Denver Broncos have to have an opposing player on their stadium.” “We respect the fans’ passion and enthusiasm for the game,” said Brian McCarthy, NFL vice president of corporate communications. “This will be in many ways a Super Bowl-like atmosphere with a national audience to kick off the season. It’s a tremendous matchup, but built around it is some of our activities that you would see at a Super Bowl or you’d see at an international game where you promote both teams.”

Lindsey Vonn nearing return to snow Recovery progressing ahead of schedule By PAT GRAHAM
V
AP Sports Writer
AIL, Colo. (AP) — For six months, Lindsey Vonn has thought about little else other than her reunion with skiing. She spent four hours a day in the gym trying to get her surgically repaired right knee healthy enough to step back into her ski boots. She spent even more hours sitting by a river bank with a flyfishing rod in her hands, peacefully pondering what it would feel like to return. A thought she would quickly stifle — too painful with her knee still mending. “Because I feel like I’m claustrophobic when I’m not skiing,” Vonn said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. “I just want to go fast.” And very soon, that will happen again. Vonn is way, way, way ahead of schedule in her return to the slopes. She wasn’t supposed to be back on snow until around November. But she’s planning to ski this weekend in Portillo, Chile. Nothing too aggressive, of course, just a few easy runs with the U.S. team to test out her knee. But later at the camp, she’s hoping to navigate through some slalom gates and maybe, just maybe — knee willing, of course — even open it up on the course. “But my expectations are sometimes a little bit out of whack,” said Vonn, who announced in March she’s dating golfer Tiger Woods. The four-time overall World Cup champion is eyeing a possible return to competition in late November at a stop in Beaver Creek, Colo., which is near her hometown of Vail. That’s about
three months ahead of the Sochi Olympics in February, where she will defend her downhill title. As for her expectations in Sochi, well, they remain as lofty as ever. “I wouldn’t change my odds, just because I was injured,” Vonn said. “I’m going to be back just as good, if not better, than I was before.” First, it starts with taking a few easy turns on snow. Her surgeon, Dr. Bill Sterett, has already put some restrictions on the return. Namely, she must wear a brace. “We’re negotiating,” Vonn said. “He’d rather I wear it to have a little bit more stability.” After all, she is coming off a major knee injury. Vonn shredded her ACL and MCL ligaments during a bad crash at the world championships in Schladming, Austria, more than six months ago. She’s viewed that wipeout dozens of times, just to figure out what happened (she hit a patch of softer snow, causing her right ski to stop and then buckle as she flipped over her ski tips). “I’ve had crashes that were honestly much worse than this one,” Vonn said. At the time, it looked as if the Sochi Games might be in jeopardy for her. That no longer appears to be the case. She said her knee is feeling so good these days that she no longer needs to ice it after workouts. “It’s about 98 percent equal (to the good knee),” said Vonn, the scar on her knee barely visible. To build up her knee, Vonn has been vigorously working under the supervision of trainer Martin Hager.

OUSTON (AP) — Johnny Football has done it again. Facing another problem that could have derailed his football career, Texas A&M’s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel has evaded serious punishment one more time. Manziel was suspended Wednesday for the first half of the Aggies’ season opener against Rice on Saturday for what the school said was an “inadvertent” violation of NCAA rules involving signing autographs. The quarterback was being investigated for allegedly accepting money for autographs from memorabilia brokers, a violation of NCAA rules that could have led to a much longer suspension. ESPN first reported the allegations against Manziel earlier this month. The latest problem isn’t the first time off-the-field trouble has put Manziel’s career in jeopardy. Manziel was arrested last summer after a bar fight near campus and charged with disorderly conduct, possession of a fake ID and failure to identify himself to police. It was an in-
cident that put him in danger of being suspended from school and left him having to earn the starting job in fall camp. Manziel admitted this June that he failed to identify himself to police following the altercation. As part of a plea deal, other charges against the 20-year-old, including disorderly conduct, were dismissed, and it looked as though Manziel’s trouble was behind him before the latest problems came to light. The news of Manziel’s suspension was the talk of Twitter on Wednesday, with many questioning the length of the suspension. Former NFL and MLB star Deion Sanders was incredulous at the brevity of Manziel’s suspension, after Dez Bryant was suspended for an entire season while at Oklahoma State after lying about having dinner with Sanders. “Can we investigate the investigators? @DezBryant got suspended a season 4 lying about a dinner that wasnt a violation & Manziel gets a half,” Sanders tweeted soon after the ruling was made public. The decision also had a major impact in Las Vegas, where the odds of Manziel’s chances of repeating as a Heisman winner and Texas A&M’s chances of win-
ning the national championship shifted dramatically. RJ Bell, the founder of sports betting website Pregame.com, said Manziel’s chances of winning the Heisman jumped from 12/1 to 6/1, and the team’s shot at the title increased from 18/1 to 10/1. The penalty appears to have brought a quick end to an investigation that could have ruined the seventh-ranked Aggies’ season. The school issued a statement Wednesday saying it declared the Heisman winner ineligible and that the NCAA agreed to reinstate Manziel after he sits out the first half against the underdog Owls. “I am proud of the way both Coach Sumlin and Johnny handled this situation, with integrity and honesty,” Texas A&M Chancellor John Sharp said in the statement. “We all take the Aggie Code of Honor very seriously and there is no evidence that either the university or Johnny violated that code.” According to the statement, Texas A&M and the NCAA “confirmed there is no evidence Manziel received money in exchange for autographs based on currently available information and statements by Manziel.”

ERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Missy Franklin strolled into the room at Memorial Stadium and offered a cheery, “Hi, everybody!” She has moved into a dorm, hit it off with her new roommate and even cried her eyes out when she said goodbye to her mother. “It feels like home already,” a beaming Franklin said Wednesday. Yet she is far from a typical 18-year-old college freshman beginning the first day of her fall semester Thursday. The four-time swimming gold medalist at last summer’s London Olympics, Franklin’s mere presence at California has caused quite a stir, a positive one — from fellow students asking her to pose for photos, to carefully watching where she goes and what she Tweets and taking into account how her arrival affects teammates who must adjust to swimming laps alongside one of the sport’s biggest international stars day in and day out. Coach Teri McKeever and Franklin have planned for it all.
Each believes Berkeley is the perfect place for Franklin to find a new “normal” — albeit a highprofile existence that has McKeever just slightly on edge. There have been conversations with police and campus security, and guidance on how to deal with harassment. The coach will talk to her student-athletes about being cautious to keep everybody safe and protect Franklin’s privacy. Franklin said she and her parents have thought about and discussed many possible scenarios and what she could face being away from her home in Centennial, Colo., in a college town for the first time. Steering clear of peer pressures, parties, all of that. “There’s so many things we have to consider and have to think about. My parents have taught me so well,” Franklin said. “We’re very aware of everything I think we need to be aware of. I feel very confident going to school and starting this new experience. I still feel that even though there might be that microscope, I can still have as normal of a college experience as I can. It’s not limiting for me.”

A chuckling Nunez said he suspected Derek Jeter and Cano were behind the wheelchair prank, and pledged to make the culprits pay. “For sure,” he said. “I’m going to find out and do something to them.” Nunez acknowledged that he had developed a reputation for on-field incidents. “Weird things happen to me all the time,” he said. Still sore, Nunez tested his knee during batting practice, but gathered his equipment and walked off the field with trainer Steve Donohue after about 20 minutes. Jeter made his third consecutive start at shortstop after coming off the disabled list Monday for the third time this season, alongside Alex Rodriguez at third base. Mark Reynolds was set to make his first major league start at second base. He finished up there Tuesday night after Cano and Nunez were hurt.

Second baseman hit by a pitch ORONTO (AP) — Star second baseman Robinson Cano was out of the New York Yankees’ lineup Wednesday night, a day after being hit by a pitch in the left hand. Cano was struck by a pitch from J.A. Happ in the first inning. Manager Joe Girardi said Cano was still dealing with pain and swelling. Girardi said he hoped to have Cano in the lineup Friday night at home against Baltimore. Cano is batting .305 with 24 home runs and 85 RBIs. The Yankees also were minus infielder Eduardo Nunez. He was scratched with a sore right knee. Nunez fell after catching his cleat in a seam on the artificial turf Tuesday. He left an inning later and Girardi dubbed the tumble a “Nuney-ism.” The Yankees also had some fun at Nunez’s expense Wednesday before he was scratched. There were laughs when teammates replaced the chair at Nunez’s locker with a wheelchair, and used tape to make an imitation chalk outline near the

Associated Press
ARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A state judge has declined to intervene in the growing issue of boys playing sports traditionally reserved for girls, saying a previous court ruling doesn’t necessarily prohibit the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association from banning the practice. Commonwealth Court Judge Kevin Brobson on Tuesday turned down a request by the PIAA to modify a 1975 state court ruling requiring schools to let girls play on boys’ teams. “If PIAA, as the primary policymaking body for interscholastic competition in the Commonwealth, believes it is appropriate to take action in this area, then it should take the first step into the breach and create a policy,” the judge wrote. “Only then, if that policy is challenged in a court of law, may its constitutionality be evaluated.” A lawyer for the PIAA, which has about 1,400 member schools and 350,000 student participants, said its board likely would put the topic on its October meeting agenda. If a new policy is adopted, it wouldn’t take effect for at
least a year. PIAA general counsel Alan Boynton said the organization was “pretty satisfied” with the judge’s ruling. “It wasn’t everything we wanted, but it gives the PIAA the option of doing what it thinks is appropriate,” he said. Boynton said some schools ban boys on girls’ teams, while others don’t. He said member schools have been pressuring the PIAA to address the issue. The organization doesn’t plan to change the ability of girls to play on boys’ teams. A Pittsburgh couple, lawyers Mary and James Grenen, sought to have the 1975 case reopened last year after seeing what occurred in the high school field hockey games involving their daughters. The Grenens wrote in a May filing that the increasing numbers of boys on girls’ teams have made a mockery of some high school sports. “The presence of boys competing on all girls teams has caused other students to show up as spectators and mockingly cheer them on — thus rendering the entire game a joke — except that it is not a joke to the girl who is sitting on the bench.

OS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors won’t file criminal charges against Scottie Pippen for fighting with an autograph seeker who authorities say was drunk and exaggerated his injuries including faking seizures after claiming the former Chicago Bulls star punched him in the face. The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said Tuesday there was insufficient evidence to bring assault charges against Pippen for the altercation with Camran Shafighi at Nobu, a sushi restaurant and celebrity hangout on the beach in Malibu. Pippen was dining with his family June 24 when he was approached by Shafighi inside the restaurant. Pippen obliged to have a photo taken but not with Shafighi, and then Shafighi followed the retired NBA forward outside into the parking lot. He again asked for a photo and an autograph from Pippen, who said no. Pippen told investigators Shafighi became irate, “grabbing at him, cursing him and then spit

in his face,” according to a report by the district attorney’s office. Shafighi, 49, said Pippen punched him in the mouth and kicked him several times. The last memory Shafighi had before losing consciousness was seeing Pippen’s foot coming toward his face, the report said. Pippen admitted spitting at Shafighi and pushing him away, but prosecutors said that based
on witness accounts, it was unclear whether Pippen was the aggressor or acted in self-defense. Shafighi, who has filed a $4 million lawsuit against Pippen, was taken to a hospital with a possible concussion. All tests showed there wasn’t any internal trauma, but Shafighi returned to the hospital later and told doctors he had been diagnosed with fractured ribs and ankle, the report said. The only visible physical injuries were a small bruise on Shafighi’s chin and a cut to his lip. Shafighi, whose blood sample turned up positive for opiates and a 0.18 percent blood-alcohol level — twice the legal limit for driving — also feigned having seizures, according to the report. The seizures ended when the doctor ordered him to stop them. The physician who examined Shafighi told investigators he believed Shafighi was “making up stuff,” the report said. Pippen’s attorney, Mark Geragos, indicated his client will sue. “This shakedown artist was drunk, screaming racial slurs, and assaulted my client and his family,” Geragos said.

those.” Compton is on his third heart and has an endless supply of perspective. After going through a second transplant, and showing off a scar that runs the length of his chest, he once said, “I’ve been dead twice.” The next day, the 33-year-old Compton was on “CBS This Morning” with Jeff Glor, talking about his amazing life and his work with Donate Life America and Genentech to raise awareness of organ donation and transplants. “I guess my story’s like a movie,” Compton said. “It’s not a made-up story, but it’s real. It just doesn’t faze me anymore. We all have issues, right?” “Yeah, but this is a pretty big one — with all due respect,” Glor said as the audience laughed. “Yeah, but I trade some of the bad issues and bad things that have happened,” Compton replied. “I have a lot of great things.” He has a wife and a daughter. He has a job on the PGA Tour, right alongside Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy. And that might be the most amazing thing of all in his remarkable life. Through it all, Compton earned his way to the highest level of golf.

geMini (May 22 - June 21): It will be easy to go over the top and say something you don’t really mean – and the consequences could be costly. You don’t need to be so forthright in your opinions. In fact you don’t need to say anything at all.
By SALLY BROMPTON www.sallybrompton.com biRthday fRiday: Past efforts and sacrifices will start to pay off over the next 12 months but that is not an excuse, still less an invitation, to cut back on your labors. Now you have got the momentum going, ride it all the way to fame and fortune.
canceR (June 22 - July 23): Your mind is moving super fast at the moment, thanks to the positive influence of Mercury, but others won’t be so quick in the brain box department, so make allowances and spell out the answers for them.
biRthday satuRday: Mercury, your ruler, is aligned with extrovert planet Jupiter on your birthday this year – a cosmic invitation to expand your mind and find new ways to express yourself. Do you have a message you want to give to the world? Now is the time.
Leo (July 24 - aug. 23): You must keep your nerve. You must resolve to stay the course, whatever the temptation may be to cut your losses and get out. Your solar chart indicates that it will all work out right in the end.
aRies (March 21 - april 20): You have met so many challenges lately that you are entitled to back off and slow down a bit – but you won’t. Mars, your ruler, is urging you to go on the attack. Keep the pressure up on your rivals, and on yourself.
ViRgo (aug. 24 - sept. 23): Even if the facts are on your side you could find yourself in a difficult position today, because friends and colleagues have got it completely wrong and you don’t want to embarrass them. Still, the truth is the truth, so speak up.
tauRus (april 21 - May 21): There are a number of things you no longer need in your life and now is the time to get rid of them. You know what they are and how they are holding you back, so be bold and go on a purge.
LibRa (sept. 24 - oct. 23): Your popularity will soar over the next few days and people in positions of power will go out of their way to do you favors. Bear in mind though that they will expect those favors to be returned. Are you happy with that?

sagittaRius (nov. 23 - dec. 21): A Sun-Saturn link will boost your selfdiscipline and make it easier for you to complete tasks that you might otherwise lose interest in. It’s not true that Sags lack in staying power, and you’ll prove it today. caPRicoRn (dec. 22 - Jan. 20): There may be no logical reason why a certain person gets on your nerves but they do and there isn’t much you can do about it. What you can do, of course, is stay out of their way for the next 24 hours. aQuaRius (Jan. 21 - feb. 19): Don’t allow yourself to be talked into supporting a cause you don’t really believe in. Just because it is the fashionable thing does not make it the right thing. It’s rarely a good idea to follow the herd. Pisces (feb. 20 - Mar. 20): There is no point trying to explain why you have chosen to follow a certain course – few people are likely to understand. The only thing that matters is that you believe you are doing the right thing. Do you?

Redford and Jack Nicholson. Anyone could star in a film with just three months training, he said, provided they do one thing: Bear their heart. It’s a personal philosophy he has named his company after — Publicly Private. “If you’re able to bear your heart and tell really what’s coming out of you and every character you play, the different part of
you that fits into that, you can make it,” Dern said. “Ninety-nine percent of the folks aren’t willing to do that. They think it’s too revealing. It’s not an art if you don’t give something of yourself to it.” “Nebraska” plays at 9 a.m. Friday at the Palm, at 10:15 p.m. Saturday at the Galaxy and at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the Werner Herzog.
The story behind Slow Food MOVIE, from page 60
The film is one about a man and a movement, Sardo said, but it’s also about what can be achieved through passion and human will. “It tells you how you can come out with something good and powerful even from nowhere,” Sardo said. “With enough vision, conviction and passion … you can succeed and change the world. It think it’s encouraging.” Sardo has a special connection to the Slow Food story; he was born in Bra, and was a boy when the organization was getting off the ground. He even worked for Slow Food at one point. Despite that, he did not spearhead the project. Sardo had left the region to follow his love of cinema as a screenwriter, when a producer proposed that he write for a documentary on Slow Food. That project ended up being stalled for a few years, and then another producer talked Sardo into directing it. He was uncomfortable at first with telling a story so close to his own life, but says now that he’s happy that it worked out the way it did. “I know the subject, I know the people, I know the story. Somehow it’s my family’s story,” he said. His familiarity with the subject also helped him gain access
This still image from “Slow Food Story” shows Carlo Petrini. [Courtesy photo] to a group of people who can be very private and camera shy, he said. Through 150 hours of footage, dozens of interviews, animation and archival footage, he was able to make a character-driven film about a movement that has helped change the way people consider what’s on their plates. Slow Food focuses on good, clean and fair food with the theory that changing our food systems can help create a better world. The organization aims to facilitate that change through projects like creating gardens in Africa and cataloging forgotten foods and through instilling a love of great food in people.
Sardo said he hopes his film can further Slow Food’s mission. “I hope that people understand that we have to change our way of dealing with food,” he said. “We have to create a system that is sustainable.”
see the movie “Slow Food Story” plays Saturday at 9:15 a.m. at the Sheridan Opera House, and will be followed by a panel discussion with author Michael Pollan, food pioneer Alice Waters and Berlin International Film Festival Director Dieter Kosslick.
The art of storytelling STORIES, from page 60
“It’s great story tellers talking about achieving seemingly impossible things,” Huntsinger said. “I’m sure they are each going to be very different.” Presenters include writer, actor and producer known for “The Graduate” and “Get Smart” Buck Henry; director Jason Reitman, whose new film “Labor Day” is screening this weekend; author Joyce Maynard; Chaz Ebert, wife
of the late movie critic Roger Ebert; Teller, half of the illusionist team Penn & Teller; the screenwriter and director behind “Selena” and “Frida” Gregory Nava; screenwriter, actor and director Tamara Jenkins and producer Michael Fitzgerald. “Teller from Penn & Teller is actually going to tell a story,” Huntsinger said. “We’ve been talking that he may be doing charades and we don’t know.”

AP Television Writer
EW YORK (AP) — There’s something antiquated about the custom long known as the Fall TV Season. It was born of a bygone era (and still harkens back to it) when fall signaled all things important in America: the muchanticipated return to school, the resumption of football and the grand unveiling of next year’s car models. It was an era of the Big Three. And not just General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, but also ABC, CBS and NBC, which each autumn launched their new shows with the stated intention of airing these dramas and comedies through much of the season to come. A half-century later, the Fall Season persists — a festival of premieres by not three, but the five self-designated broadcast “majors” (which somehow includes the little-watched CW), with, some years, no discernible dividing line between the fall crop and the winter harvest. Many of more than two dozen new series may already be familiar, at least by name, to viewers,
since the networks have been flogging them all summer. They are familiar to TV critics, too, who got early copies of many of the new shows as long ago as June (with the proviso from the networks that some of these episodes were “non-reviewable,” since they were subject to be altered in small or large ways before their premiere date — or even re-shot completely). At some point before each show’s premiere date, a version designated “reviewable” will be furnished to critics. This doesn’t necessarily help. For a critic to make a sweeping assessment of any TV series’ potential on the basis of a lone episode, or even two or three, is as reasonable as writing a tellall biography of someone after meeting at a speed-dating event. So there’s a possibility that CBS’ “The Crazy Ones” will ultimately reveal itself to be hilarious, and not one of the lamest new comedies on the schedule (as an initial viewing might suggest). A comedy set at an advertising agency, it brings back Robin Williams to TV sitcoms after “Mork & Mindy” 35 years ago (which TV’s most-sought-after viewers, as well as many present-
day network execs, aren’t old enough to remember). “The Crazy Ones” isn’t really a comedy. It’s a mystery: Who thought it, and bringing back Williams as its star, was a good idea? NBC (whose motto could be borrowed from a cable network hit, “The Walking Dead”) has brought back another sitcom veteran with what seems like happier results: Michael J. Fox in a self-named comedy. Addressing the real-life health problems (and triumphs) of this breakout star of “Family Ties” in the 1980s, “The Michael J. Fox Show” strikes a fresh, funny tone amid the flood of new comedies. NBC has further relied on its once-stellar past by reviving the successful cop show “Ironside,” this time with Blair Underwood, not Raymond Burr, as the intrepid detective in the wheelchair. Fantasy is fueling many new shows. NBC’s “Dracula” stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers in a reimagining of the vampire as a protoenvironmentalist. In his guise as a 19th-Century American industrialist, Dracula wants to develop cheap, alternative energy in defiance of his enemy, Big Oil.

Sandra Bullock shows dancer’s poise in ‘Gravity’ Associated Press
Film playing at TFF
ENICE, Italy (AP) — Sandra Bullock is trapped in a bulky space suit for most of Alfonso Cuaron’s space odyssey “Gravity,” which has her adrift in space tethered to a wise-cracking George Clooney. But the role nonetheless required a dancer’s poise. Bullock’s Dr. Ryan Stone is stranded hundreds of miles above Earth with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky, played by Clooney, when debris destroys their space shuttle on her first mission. Bullock said Wednesday that she called on her dancer’s training for the role, in which she both spiraled through deep space heavily suited and floated gracefully through a space station in stretch shorts and a tank top. “Dancing did help. We are operating at very slow speeds, and I’m a fast mover,” Bullock told a news conference ahead of the film’s world premiere opening the Venice Film Festival. Clooney said moving abnormally slowly to simulate movement in space while speaking quickly “is the trickiest thing you have ever done,” but that Bullock, who started shooting before
him and spends considerably more screen time moving freely, had it nailed by the time he arrived on set. “It was absolutely stunning what she was doing,” he said. Much of the film was shot inside a 9-foot-by-9-foot box, inside of which the actors were suspended by cables, with their lower halves inside a contraption, while objects were hurled toward them, the actors said. For Bullock, the conditions created a sense of extreme isolation not unlike that felt by her character. “George and I were rarely together, but If I could hear his voice I would feel better. I was grateful for any human contact, even if it was just a breath,” she said. Director Cuaron consulted with astronauts and physicists to portray how objects would behave in space as realistically as possible. He said the technical challenges combined “the worse-case scenarios for live action and the worse-case scenarios for animation. In both cases, our brain is used to operating from the standpoint of gravity

and weight.” “Gravity” is shot in 3-D, which gives depth to the character’s experience of having debris hurtle toward them or seeing pens, ping pong paddles or statuettes float by. While the film is a space adventure full of action sequences, Cuaron also said the journey into space was rife with metaphors. Bullock’s Dr. Stone, a brilliant scientist who is in space to install technology for NASA that she created, has suffered a tragedy that has made her give up on life, and retreat to the precision of her work. “From the get-go, when we decided to go into space, it was very obvious the metaphorical value of space. You have a character who is drifting from her own inertia. On the one hand, she has life, she has planet Earth human connection, on the other hand she is drifting,” the director said. Bullock said she wanted to portray the character’s loss through physical perfection, and worked hard to get into top shape. “I wanted her to lose everything feminine or maternal about her. I wanted to get the body to be a machine that was effective for her brain,” Bullock said.

The sTorY Behind slow Food Documentary charts the rise of well-known food movement By KATIE KLINGSPORN
B
Editor
efore “Fast Food Nation” and the rise of CSAs, before the proliferation of farmers markets and local food campaigns, before “Omnivore’s Dilemma” and “Food, Inc.” and a national rise in consciousness on the subject of what we eat, there was Slow Food. The organization has been dedicated to linking the pleasures of good food with a commitment to community and the environment since the late ‘80s. Today, Slow Food is an influential and well-known network that is part and parcel of the global foodie revolution. But for all of its renown, Slow Food came from humble origins: It was invented in a small town in northern Italy by a man named Carlo Petrini who wanted to counter the rise of the fast food lifestyle, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat. Without ever leaving his town of Bra, Petrini created a movement that spans 150 countries, has 100,000 members and has helped to transform gastronomy. Many people and movements have contributed to changing the way people eat, but Slow Food was a vanguard. A new documentary featured this weekend at the Telluride Film Festival charts Slow Food from its birth as a small idea to its major role in the food world. “Slow Food Story,” a documentary by Italian filmmaker Stefano Sardo, plays Saturday at 9:15 a.m. at the Sheridan Opera House. It will be followed by a special panel discussion with prominent food writer Michael Pollan, Alice Waters of Chez Panisse and Berlin International Film Festival Director Dieter Kosslick. The film follows Petrini and his close friends from their earliest days as political radicals to their evolution into food pioneers, and tells the story of Slow Food through the pranks, politics, restaurants, wine, games and rediscovered peasant rites it was built upon.

Woody’s journey ‘Nebraska’ starring Bruce Dern plays at TFF By HEATHER SACKETT
T
Associate Editor
he mental state of Woody Grant is like a baseball stadium where all of the right field lights are out, casting a shadow over a portion of the park. That’s how actor Bruce Dern describes the 77-year-old character he plays in director Alexander Payne’s new film “Nebraska,” which is screening at this weekend’s Telluride Film Festival. An alcoholic who doesn’t believe beer counts as drinking, Woody is a kind man who drank his life away. “He still gets it, but he’s not with it all the time,” Dern said. Convinced he has won a million dollars in a mail-order sweepstakes, he sets out on a quixotic road trip from Billings, Mont. to Lincoln, Neb. with his youngest son, played by Will Forte, to claim his prize in person. His closest family believes the contest is a sham, but distant relatives and people from Woody’s past come out of the

woodwork looking to claim what they think is their rightful piece of the winnings. Dern calls the film an honest and unusually touching work, not unlike Payne’s other recent films, “The Descendants” and “Sideways.” Although he has had many supporting parts, the movie is Dern’s first starring role in 30 years. Payne and Dern had similar visions for the complex role. Dern’s Woody calls it like it is, is not especially sympathetic, but not selfish either and never rude. He’s a man who believes what people tell him. But it was challenging, Dern said, because Woody doesn’t have many lines and keeps his emotions in check: You never see him cry and he only shows the faintest hint of a smile once or twice. “Alexander was very embraceful to me,” Dern said. “He and I had the same plan and that was to put a real human being on the screen so you never saw me act for a second. Of course it’s acting, but you don’t see any work.”
Dern said Payne first presented him with the script nine years ago, but the powers that be at the time had reservations about Dern and the fact that Payne insisted the film be shot in black and white. Dern said Payne wanted to use black and white to capture the bleakness of the Midwest. And Dern, who was born just outside of Chicago, is familiar with the landscape of America’s farmbelt. “There’s no color out there,” Dern said. “It’s done. But they don’t leave. They stay because their relatives homesteaded and they went there 160 years ago. There’s no spirit left.” This is Dern’s first time at TFF and he is eager to see how audiences will receive “NebrasSee NEBRASKA, Page 54

filmmaker’s job is to take a story, shape it and infuse it with creative vision and bring it to life on the big screen. The secret to great filmmaking has always been the ability to tell a compelling story. In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Telluride Film Festival, organizers have planned a special nod to the art of storytelling with Story Night at Brigadoon on Friday. The event is modeled after The Moth, the New York City-based organization dedicated to the craft of storytelling and story-based performances. Each Moth show, which is part documentary and part theater, has a theme that presenters explore through their stories. And like moths to a flame, the audience is drawn to the tales. “It’s our version of The Moth, which has filmmakers telling a story that they’ve created themselves,” said Festival Co-director Julie Huntsinger. “It’s 10-15 minutes each with amazing filmmakers … So that’s a really fun thing and that is just to celebrate the 40th.” The event’s theme is “From the Sidelines to the Playing Field: An Evening of Stories on Risking Failure for Fealty.” Presenters are encouraged to tell a story that involves a struggle, high stakes and a willingness to risk it all for the devotion to art.
